Swiss Re named Top Employer in Switzerland

In 2021, the Top Employers Institute – the global authority on recognising excellence in people practices – named Swiss Re as a Top Employer in Switzerland.

Since employees are the best judges of their own workplaces, the award is based solely on the results of an employee survey conducted by the HR functions of each respective company. The survey asks probing questions about the working conditions and facilities, including strengths and areas to improve.

This achievement demonstrates that Swiss Re is committed to creating a workplace where its employees can develop their skills, be rewarded for their contributions and build meaningful connections with partners and colleagues.

  • The Stevie Award for Great Employers: GOLD in the “Achievement in Performance Management” category.

Showing that Swiss Re is an inclusive employer, it was included in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index for the third time.

For efforts in people development, Swiss Re was shortlisted in the LinkedIn Talent Awards in the category “Best Culture of Learning”.
